Overall Readiness

Solid

Peak Level (Proven)

86/100

High

Access Gap

18 pts

Moderate

Biggest opportunity: Late-Set Sharpness. It shows up as late-session drift and slower adjustments under complexity.

Coach Summary

Where points get lost:Slow spikes (not average speed) + adjustment delay under complexity.
When it shows up most:Onset mid-session; strongest late-session.
What to train first:Late-set sharpness first, then adjustment speed.
Late spikes detected: 3

READ SPEED & CONSISTENCY

Forehand-side vs Backhand-side

What it is: How fast you usually read the ball—and how often you have slow spikes.

Why it matters: Spikes force scrambling and rushed contact. They lose points and increase risk.

Forehand-side

Typical (median)230ms
Spike gap (95th%)+120ms
Spike rate3/50 (6%)

Backhand-side

Typical (median)245ms
Spike gap (95th%)+95ms
Spike rate6/50 (12%)

Average is solid. The issue is spikes: +120ms gap, 6% frequency (forehand-side).

Coach: reduce spike frequency late-session before adding more volume.

PEAK VS TYPICAL READ SPEED

Consistency gap (training target)

What it is: Peak = your fastest clean read today. Typical = what you produce most of the time.

Why it matters: The gap is proven thinking speed you're not accessing consistently.

185msPeak Read SpeedBest rep
+45msGap
230msTypical Read SpeedMedian

Choice RT | Lower = faster read

You can hit 185ms. You usually play at 230ms. Train the 45ms gap.

Coach: goal is repeatability—bring typical closer to peak (not more speed).

ADJUSTMENT SPEED

After a wrong read

What it is: How fast you override the first plan and commit to the correct one.

Why it matters: Hesitation is where weak returns and compromised movement happen.

Example: Wrong read on serve direction → re-commit.

Commit Speed Under Conflict

Simple410ms
Complex500ms
Interference cost: +90ms under complexity

Accuracy Under Complexity

Simple88%
Complex77%
-11% accuracy

Under complexity, adjustment slows by +90ms—worst late-session.

Coach: train quick re-commit under interference; protect movement quality on emergency adjustments.

Onset: MidDrift: Moderate–High

LATE-SET SHARPNESS

Does thinking speed stay sharp late?

What it is: Tracks how read + decision performance changes from early → mid → late.

Why it matters: When this drops, late errors rise and movement gets compromised.

Mid-session

Drift severity

Moderate–High

-22 pts Early → Late

Drop begins mid-session and worsens late—this is the primary limiter.

Coach: build late-session sharpness before increasing intensity blocks.

SIDE-TO-SIDE BALANCE

Racket side vs other side

What it is: How evenly both sides contribute as the session goes on.

Why it matters: When the gap widens late, the racket side tends to overwork.

92Early
78Late

Symmetry index | Scale 0–100

Balance gap widens late (92 → 78).

Coach: prioritize keeping balance stable late-session.

BRAIN-TO-BODY CONTROL

Does the body match intention late?

What it is: How well execution matches intended control across the session.

Why it matters: When this drops, mechanics slip even if effort stays high.

Alignment drops late (86 → 73).

Coach: protect technique quality during late-session load.

NERVOUS SYSTEM STATE (Context)

Baseline calm vs strain today

What it is: A snapshot of how regulated vs strained the system is today.

Why it matters: Context for interpreting late-session drift—not a primary driver.

Calmness (HRV)58ms
Strain signalModerate
Recovery signalMixed

Today's state suggests moderate strain tolerance.

Coach: use as context when judging late-session sharpness.

Emerging Flags

Performance Degradation

Late-session drop in sharpness: Moderate–High
Spike frequency late: Elevated
Spike size (gap): Elevated
Slow re-commit under complexity: Elevated

Bottom line: This athlete's biggest opportunity is late-set sharpness—closing the access gap by reducing spikes and building consistency under sustained load.
